They're both best girls too. 11 minutes ago, Sooks said: A combination of the pokemon Nuzleaf and John Locke, a character on the TV show Lost, who was in turn named after an English philosopher of the same name. One of the first nuzlockes or the first nuzlocke comic on the internet of something like that had a Nuzleaf that they named Locke, I’m pretty sure. Not sure what was special about Locke the Nuzleaf though. Maybe he was the fan favorite. 5 minutes ago, Dayni said: Well, history time. So, over a decade ago this one American starts a webcomic of his Ruby playthrough with the most basic of the nuclocke rules, which was a combination of limiting captures and ironmans which people would have done previously separately and named "Pokemon Hard Mode" The name changed after one of the pokemon caught in the run, a Nuzleaf that was used to reference John Locke from Lost became a breakout among the cast especially after it's death, Nuzlocke being a simple combination of the names. Course it spread beyond the initial community that sprung up around the comic for those who also played with these rules to some severity or other (mostly more severe), keeping the term as it went, even for larger streamers. I found it in 2010 after a dive on Bulbapedia and was an active member on the forum but that's off topic. I see. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to tell since its GB style, lmao. It's Cinccino, yeah it's hard to tell with the GB sprite. I picked it from Dodgedusk's Let's Play he mentioned because I had a laugh on seeing it to be honest. Never really had much of an opinion on it beyond always hearing Minccino's cry sound like "QWOP!" for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only relief is that, since this is lunatic, none of the great levels I got are lost, I just have to get them again. ...Seriously great, that mechanic. Sure, stinks when you get a bad level, but on the other hand, I stress less over bad levels. Who cares if someone gets a bad level on the first enemy of the map? I don't need to reset and get a better one, because I can't! I can just keep on going with my life. It's so nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, if a unit rolls multiple bad levels it becomes harder to rehabilitate unless you're capable of dealing with low stats. And the inexperienced will probably not do so well with that. And imagine if it happened for someone playing Rev, where enemies have the highest stats of all routes!

Armagon Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 50 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Combat once I was free to explore the forests and mountains got tough. I've been fortunate most enemies so far are peaceful except when attacked, as they're capable of killing me in about three attacks, and once they're angry, they're relentless to no end and won't be satisfied until your flesh is hanging by a bonfire and becoming jerky. I'm feeling inclined towards pacifism. The guy who challenged me to a duel I lost against all five times. Here's a word of advice. You want your equipment level to be equal or higher than your player level because the former is what determines whether your overleveled or underleveled. Equipment gotten from the trading posts is generally better than what you can find in the shops. Also, don't forget, the game has custom difficulty so you can fine tune it to your liking. 50 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: The guy who challenged me to a duel I lost against all five times. Oof. You'll get to rematch him eventually, hopefully then you can kick him in his smug-ass face haha. 50 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: And a new NSMB is so necessary anymore, Super Mario Maker, while not perfect or the same as a proper game, does let fans make their own unofficial NSMBs. I still wish for a new 2D Mario tho. Maybe not an NSMB but like, Super Mario Maker isn't a proper replacement. Especially when, for me at least, it's a game i'd rather watch people play than play myself. 32 minutes ago, DodgeDusk said: Kronii is great. Definitely going to be part of the Kronies in the future--her radio-esque voice was extremely pleasant to listen to. She looks like a Fate character.

And the inexperienced will probably not do so well with that. Yes, that's true, but bad levels are much less common in the world of high growth rates. There's room for frustration, but overall, the mechanic works in the player's benefit more often, I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
